I agree with teroedni on this, ATI changed it's drivers heavily a few versions ago, and reduced the size and number of drivers they had to provide by simply only requiring 1 download... and yes, that is the current driver for linux... at least until sometime in the middle of January.

I tried installing the provided version anyway, but it doesn't help a bit!

If anyone has the link to the right driver, please post it here.
Should I try the Radeon open source driver?

Hi,

If you want to use the latest fglrx driver, you'll have to first stop ubuntu from managing it itself via its restricted drivers manager. Do this by adding fglrx to the DISABLED_MODULES list at the bottom of /etc/default/linux-restricted-modules-common.
